Hello Doctor,
How can I treat sunburn, and what steps can be taken to alleviate the pain and discomfort? Additionally, how are skin problems diagnosed, and what tests might be necessary to identify the cause?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Sunburn can be treated by cooling the skin with a cool bath, applying aloe vera gel or hydrocortisone cream, staying hydrated, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Avoid sun exposure until healed. Skin problems are diagnosed through a physical exam, medical history, and tests like skin biopsies, allergy tests, or blood tests if necessary. A dermatologist can help provide the best treatment plan for your condition.
Thanks
